I love creating my own recipes and experiment with them all the time. My family has a saying that I cannot cook the same dish twice. They probably are right!
My desire to utilize the variety of ingredients and food sources in my house are all the culprit to it!
As a minimum, I prepare a fresh salad with raw veggies and some kind of protein in it daily. I take anything that’s available in my fridge and make a quick but very colorful and deliciously scrumptious creation. I would throw arugula, spinach, tomatoes, onions, peppers, green peas, seeds and nuts, sprouts into it. Add some of my favorite dressings which I prepare myself – and voila, I am ready to feast on it!
Being introduced to new products in the market has an element of excitement in it for me! Why? Because I am going to experiment with the recipes!
The most recent experiment has involved Skillet Sauces by Campbell’s. Without further ado, here’s what I managed to prepare in 20 minutes for two people.
Personally, I absolutely love steamed vegetables. My most favorite is Cauliflower. Luckily, I got plenty of it in my refrigerator that evening. So, Step 1 – Steam Cauliflower.
Step 2 – I had to pick one of the Skillet Sauces that would go well with my dish, which is steamed vegetables and wild rice. Here’s what I’ve got as my choices.
I decided to go with Creamy Chipotle Skillet Sauce.
Step 3 – As I am a vegetarian, I decided to saute more vegetables to go with my chosen skillet sauce. I chopped up some onions and green peppers to make a nice base for my upcoming sauce.
Step 4 – Add my Skillet Sauce to the sauteed vegetable base.
Step 5 – Serve wild rice with steamed cauliflower and Campbell’s Skillet Creamy Chipotle Sauce.

Ive seen these new skillet sauces in the store, after this recipe how to ,imm going to have to try them now!
im always exspermenting with recipes
I do the same thing, I always cook something different every time, I love changing it up and creating something new also.
I’ve tested all 4 packages of the Skillet Sauses, and they were very good. The only thing is I added at lease 1 cup of water to dilute the contents and to lower the salty taste.
